Direct Cremation Is Simple, Services Don’t Have To Be
Cremation Society of Milwaukee • April 20, 2020
While direct cremation is a simple, straightforward service, you can do whatever kind of final service you want after that takes place to highlight your loved one’s personality and life.
While some people find themselves choosing direct cremation in Milwaukee, WI
because it is simple and straightforward, others want to do something truly special and memorable for their loved one and they feel something that simple can’t do that. The cremation process is the same no matter when you decide to have it done. It is also always unique because of the individual involved. However, it’s not really the direct cremation that makes things memorable or special—it’s the services you have around the cremation. So while direct cremation is simple, if you want something memorable for your loved one, you can make that happen in their memorial service.
IF your loved one was always the life of the party and you want to celebrate their life, you can do that through a memorial that is more of a celebration of life. These events are always unique because they revolve a unique individual’s personality and the things they liked the most. If your loved one adored their garden, gather the family, put on the gardening gloves, and get that garden planted, just as your loved one would have had they lived longer. You can go to a sporting event, have a picnic in the park, dance to the music they loved, or do anything else you want. In that way, you take the simplicity of the direct cremation and focus the memorable aspects on the services.
If you don’t feel like a celebration of life is the right fit, you can work plenty of personality into a memorial service as well. Include memory boards or books of your loved one. You can also put together a video of pictures and songs to remind everyone of what they were like in their prime. These things are a great way to bring the service around your loved one and honor them and what made them special.
While cremation allows you to choose any final resting place, you might want to have a permanent memorial somewhere for your loved one so you have a place to visit. You could put up a memorial in the form of a plaque on a park bench nearby where you spread their ashes. You can put an engraved rock with their name on it in your garden or any number of things. These items make the simple direct cremation all that much more special.
